I posted last evening about my shakiness episodes in the mornings after exercise. I had wondered if it was Reactive Hypoglycemia or Dehydration as Ive really been lacking in the fluids department.  I had another episdoe this morning, checked my glucose levels twice - they were within normal range, so I dont think its RH.   So Im determined I WILL increase my fluids!!!   Im going to challenge myself to drink 64 - 100 oz a water a day.

What are you lacking in and willing to challenge yourself?   Not enough protein?  Too many carbs?  Not enough exercise?   Not taking your Vits regularly?   We CAN do this!!!!  Who's in with me?!    Cindy

I'm IN, Cindy.
I'll take the same challenge: 64-100 oz of fluids (not jus****er) a day.
I feel really bloated, like my inners aren't the clean pipes they need to be, and NOTHING seems to be helping..... So, to help out, I'm going to REALLY focus on fluids, including warm prune juice, which is actually better than cold juice.

Glad to have you on board Tracey!  I know that bloated feeling.  If I dont keep up with the Miralax & stool softeners, Im miserable.   Ive never had warm prune juice before. I would probably like it though, as I like it cold.  We can do this Tracey!!!!!   Cindy

Count me in! . I'm not getting enough fluids, I know that. And I need to step up the exercise. It's been a couple of weeks (and more) since I've lost any weight. Grrr--the dreaded 3-week "stall"!

Glad to hear it wasn't RH - but don't be surprised if you do develop it some day....

There are several areas I'm consistetly deficient in - water/fluids is one of them. I also am pledging to get exercise this week.  Vits I do pretty good with but protein drinks I've been lacking in and notice I do when I'm NOT at work....  Oh - and beer doesn't count towards fluids... darn!

So I pledge to get the equivalent of 4 protein drinks a day.

Isnt it funny how easy it is to slack off on something once you get off your routine?   LOL  and NO! Beer doesnt count towards our fluids.  Good luck Jody, We CAN do this!!!  Cindy

I hate to inform anyone of this but I am not going to join in this challenge. As of now, with all the issues I am having with my gall bladder, I am afraid to add anything more that will add pain. Now I will shoot for more liquids but that too hurts like the dickens.... I will be everyone cheerleader though

I think we should all pledge to come down and beat up that ol' mean military doctor whose making you wait for surgery.
 
It's a shame there's no safe way to fudge a fever.

I so wish that were possible, to fudge a fever that it, they would just verify with blood though :(
Thank you!
